Bathurst Blog Meet part 5

We had two ladies not able to make the weekend. Well they were so generous and Chooky and Kylie ended up buying some pressies.

We were given tickets with things we had done over the weekend.

I received two foil wrapped gifts ( no wrapping paper was harmed) which were easy to open.

1. I made Dory cry! Well the story is I was chain piecing and Dory commented by fabric didn't align up. Well I looked and looked and she laughed and laughed. I thought she meant the fabric pieces not the string bits in between. Well she laughed so much she cried. Lol

2. I can't remember my second reason.

But I got the following:





















Thanks to Peg and Dale for the gifts.

Bathurst Blog Meet part two

We stayed at The Vale Lodge at Perthville.
The accommodation and conference rooms were originally a nursing home.








MacKillop College Bathurst board their students here.

There are some sisters of St Joseph also living here.








The trees near the entrance.








The rooms were all similar. This was Fiona's room, look at the massage chair in the corner.

A great location for a weekend of fun.

Four more sleeps. Happy news.

Until I travel to Bathurst for the weekend. I get to meet bloggers and spend the weekend doing what we all love sewing, eating, shopping etc. 

I am new to this group and will be looking forward to catching up with Kerrie and Dorothy and then meeting all of the other ladies. 

I am undecided as to what I am taking but I think some UFOs both machine and hand work. 

GOOD NEWS. 

I passed the unit I was studying. Much better results then thought. Now only three units to go and the degree is complete.  

Since finishing I have been able to work on my sewing. 

For a while now I have been working on an arm chair caddy which was part of the package from Indulge in Stitcjes held in the Barossa Valley hosted by A Country Hart. 

I am up to binding it all together. 

This week I will be putting the finishing touches on my items for the Santa Sack Swap. 

Will post some finished items during the week.
